Defenders Alan Hutton (leg) and Chris Samba (knee) are available.

Sergi Canos is set to make his first Brentford appearance of the season after recovering from an ankle injury. He will return to a depleted squad after Jota, Harlee Dean and Maxime Colin joined Birmingham. John Egan and Andreas Bjelland are likely to replace Dean and Colin in the visitors’ defence.

Bolton (24) v Middlesbrough (9)

Boro striker Rudy Gestede is out after undergoing a minor operation on his thigh and Danish forward Martin Braithwaite is also unavailable as he is still recovering from a muscular injury – but he should return to training next week. New signings Ryan Shotton and Marvin Johnson are set to be included.

Fulham add Yohan Mollo and Jordan Graham to their squad. Mollo was a deadline-day signing from Zenit St Petersburg and fellow wideman Graham arrived from Wolves on a season-long loan. Lucas Piazon has a broken leg and another loan signing, Rafa Soares, is battling to shake off an ankle injury.

Cardiff defender Matt Connolly is fit after an ankle problem. Lee Camp and Callum Paterson are in training following spells in the treatment room but are unlikely to be back in action until next month but Kadeem Harris and Rhys Healey remain on the long-term absentee list.

On-loan Everton defender Matthew Pennington (ankle), striker Caleb Ekuban (foot) and Gaetano Berardi (shoulder) remain sidelined for Leeds. New signings Pierre-Michel Lasogga and Pawel Cibicki could be in the squad – Lasogga’s partner is expecting their first child, but the on-loan Hamburg striker hopes to make his debut, as does winger Cibicki, who joined from Malmo for an undisclosed fee.

Burton defender Stephen Warnock could face his former club after recovering from ankle ligament damage. Hope Akpan is available after a three-match ban but the midfielder is now nursing an injury, as is striker Luke Varney (hamstring), while on-loan Leeds man Luke Murphy is ineligible.

Norwich could give a debut to defender Grant Hanley, while Swiss defender Timm Klose should be fit again following a pre-season leg muscle problem. Midfielder Alex Pritchard is recovering from ankle surgery and Jamal Lewis (knee) and Louis Thompson (Achilles) also continue their rehabilitation.

Birmingham striker Che Adams will return to the first-team squad after recovering from a hamstring injury but Isaac Vassell and Carl Jenkinson have been ruled out of the clash – Vassell is sidelined with a hamstring injury while Jenkinson has undergone an operation on his shoulder.

Jordan Hugill is expected to lead the line for Preston after the club held on to their forward as the transfer window closed. North End should have Paul Gallagher back from concussion and long-term absentees Declan Rudd (thigh), John Welsh (calf) and Calum Woods (knee) have all played in behind-closed-doors matches during the international break so could soon return.

Barnsley could hand a debut to deadline-day signing Gary Gardner but defender Angus McDonald is suspended again. Gardner joined on a season-long loan deal from Aston Villa and could play some part but the Tykes will not be able to call on Oliver McBurnie after their loan move for the Swansea striker was rejected by the EFL.

QPR (10) v Ipswich (2)

QPR could hand a debut to David Wheeler after he completed a deadline-day switch from Exeter. Fellow winger Bright Osayi-Samuel, signed from Blackpool, could also be in the squad but defenders James Perch, Joel Lynch and Grant Hall and midfielder Jordan Cousins are set to miss out through injury.

On-loan Everton full-back Callum Connolly is in contention for Ipswich and midfielder Tom Adeyemi has recovered from a calf problem and should feature but defender Tristan Nydam is doubtful with an injury picked up on international duty with England Under-19s and Luke Hyam has a fresh knee problem.

Jordan Amavi of Aston Villa is challenged by Dave Edwards of Wolverhampton Wanderers, now of Reading

Reading (11) v Bristol City (13)

Reading could hand Wales midfielder Dave Edwards his debut after he joined the Royals from Wolves in a £1million deal ahead of the transfer deadline. Iceland forward Jon Dadi Bodvarsson returned to action from a knee problem to score in the 2-0 win at Birmingham last time out, so should feature again.

City midfielder Jens Hegeler is available after an ankle problem but Gary O’Neil is at least a week away from full fitness after a knee injury and Matty Taylor is not ready to start following groin trouble. Striker Milan Djuric (groin) faces another six to eight weeks out and will continue his recovery in Italy.

Wednesday forward Fernando Forestieri has been ruled out for three months because of a knee injury which requires surgery. The Owls will still be without skipper Glenn Loovens (hip) and midfielder Sam Hutchinson (knee), while midfielder Kieran Lee (hip) is working his way back to full fitness. Defender Joost van Aken and on-loan midfielder Jacob Butterfield are both in contention.

On-loan Bournemouth goalkeeper Adam Federici will have to wait a little longer to make his Forest debut after suffering an injury while on international duty with Australia. Midfielder Chris Cohen has undergone a minor knee procedure and will be out for a couple of weeks.

New signings Marc Wilson, Callum McManaman and Jonny Williams will all be involved for Sunderland. Winger Aiden McGeady is a doubt after suffering a hamstring problem on international duty with the Republic of Ireland. Manager Simon Grayson will make a late decision but should the 31-year-old not be ready McManaman or Williams could step in.

Blades boss Chris Wilder could hand deadline-day signing Clayton Donaldson his debut as fellow striker Leon Clarke sits out the final game of his three-match ban. Another new signing, Ben Heneghan, is expected to be included in the squad, while fellow defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, on loan from Tottenham, is pushing for his first start.

Wolves (4) v Millwall (17)

Wolves will be without Willy Boly with the French defender hampered by a hamstring injury so either Danny Batth, Ryan Bennett or Sylvain Deslandes will deputise. Wing-back Barry Douglas missed the goalless draw at Brentford a fortnight ago with a knock but he should be fit. Midfielder Alfred N’Diaye can be added to the squad after joining on loan from Villarreal.

Millwall could have a full squad to choose from as Lions boss Neil Harris decides whether to keep faith with the side which thrashed Norwich 4-0 before the international break. Northern Ireland midfielder Shane Ferguson is pressing for a recall, while defender Jake Cooper could also come into contention. Striker Tom Elliott has been carrying an ankle problem which kept him on the bench last time out.
